Anyone thinking the centre caps in their alloys are starting to peel / fade? Mine look quite bad to say the car is only 6 years old last month, thought nothing of it until i got this linked to me in an email from Amazon (uk)

The ladybird above reminded me of one of my purchases. I have a very discreet USB flash drive in my car. It is barely noticeable, and can be directly connected to phones and tablets too (assuming you're not in the iOS world!).

The link on Amazon for it is here.

I've been thinking of swapping out my iPod for one of these.

Can you setup playlists on it?

Bit of a genre nerd and I have a lot of playlists :)

Yes, you can! I have a bookmarked link somewhere with instructions on ensuring it works :)

I'll post it up tomorrow when I'm more awake!

Yeah cheers man that would be much appreciated :)

I'd be interested in one of the too. As I have my iPod touch in the car at the moment, and it consumes all the space where I plug it in. using this Micro USB drive is going to be ideal, it's very discrete and I can leave it plugged in. As it's not that visible as the iPod touch (which I always unplug and store away when leaving the car parked up!)

Also I don't have 3.0 USB ports on my computer, so i'll have to go for the 2.0 USB version

Morning both! Here is the link that gave me the advice needed. I can confirm that this works perfectly on my 2009 Zetec S!

I do have some files that my stereo says it can't play, but that's because they have unusual characters in the file name. One day I will sort that out...

I have used MediaMonkey for some time now and can confirm it is an excellent program, worth replacing Windows Media Player with!

I can also recommend a program called MP3Tag for editing the tag information and album art of your MP3s. I use that for everything I download and use it to give every MP3 file the same file name structure. I really am an organised geek!

Never used either of those programs before but i'll give them a try.

You can still buy the USB 3.0 even if you only have 2.0 on your computer. It just won't transfer files at 2.0 speed rather than 3.0.

That guide is really old and dated... anyway I've found a MUCH easier way to create playlists. Tried and tested on my MK7.5 with this little device:

post-62796-142912378664_thumb.jpg

I'll be creating a guide shortly, to share with others. That MediaMonkey did my head right in!!

I really like using MediaMonkey, haha! But I'll sure to have a read of your guide :)

Guide slightly tweaked... the last section, added images showing the USB flash drive working in the vehicle.

Not something I've bought but something I had! My tax disc holder that was too beautiful to not use is now a handy covered pot!!! :wub: and I love it!!!

My new leather gaiter which I ummed and ahhed about as didn't want to compromise my fiesta's identity, but actually looks great! The top to the gear knob which has been cracked for over a year.

And this little gizmo that goes over the boot lock that really tidied it up :rolleyes:

Want your boot-lid to lift automatically, when pressing the button button on your fob? Look no further, eBay linky below...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUTOMATIC-OPENING-LIFT-TRUNK-BOOT-KIT-FORD-FIESTA-OVER-2008-MK7-7-5-/231537943661?

These are springs, that you add to your boot pistons. Then once you've pressed the boot button on your keyfod, your boot will open upon automatically with these springs. Paramanic has already bought his set, and i'll be buying my set too. Watch the video, it's in Italian... but still have a watch

Back to work then!! Chop, chop ;)

I'm currently using a double 12v socket & 1 USB port. Each socket has a USB bullet connector - each only have an output of 1.0a, the USB port only has an output of 0.5a. Had to laugh, I plugged my LG G2 USB lead into the USB port... the phone was actually discharging. I have 2 item running off the sockets:

Item A - which is holding it's charge quite well

Item B - which isn't holding it's charge very well.

Very similar to this (from the pound shop rubbish):

& 2 of these (1 in each socket):

Nice find there, mate. I have a two USB socket wired in for the dash cams bought on eBay in the glovebox. I think that puts out 3A in total between the two ports. This find, in comparison, is pretty damn useful!
